Fst computes the \(F_{IT}\), \(F_{ST}\) and
\(F_{IS}\) for each locus in the data. Rst computes the
\(R_{ST}\) for microsatellites.
Fst(x, pop = NULL, quiet = TRUE, na.alleles = "")
Rst(x, pop = NULL, quiet = TRUE, na.alleles = "")an object of class "loci".
a vector or factor giving the population assignment of each
row of x, or a single numeric value specifying which column
of x to use as population indicator. By default, the column
labelled "population" is used.
a logical value: should calculations be quiet?
by default, only genotypes coded as NA are considered as missing data. This option is to specify if some alleles code for missing data.
A matrix with genes (loci) as rows and the three F-statistics as columns.
Fst uses the formulae in Weir and Cockerham (1984) for each
allele, and then averaged within each locus over the different alleles
as suggested by these authors.
Rst uses the formulae in Slatkin (1995).

fstat in package hierfstat; package dirmult
on CRAN that implements various estimators of the
Dirichlet-multinomial distribution, including maximum likekihood and
the moments estimator of Weir and Hill (2002); Fst in
Biodem that caculates \(F_{ST}\) from a ``kinship
matrix''.
